Re: House plans to admonish Rep. Wilson over insult

If every dollar goes to deportation, I reckon it'll be over in a year and a half, so fine.

A 20% increase in federal revenues ? Do you know how many Vans and Zip-Ties one can buy for that kind of money ?

You seriously haven't thought this through. It's more than just vans even though busses would be more effective but if you want to talk vans okay.

So lets see 12 million immigrants at most a super van that fits 10 that is 1.2 million vans. Lets go with a dodge sprinter average cost new $38,580. That comes to $46,296,000,000. Now hiring all the personel lets say 1 for every 3 immigrants. You can't expect the cops to be pulled off their normal jobs to do the deportation so then you'd need about 4 million people which you can later use for border patrol which is what I'm assuming you'll do. Average cop would be making 40,000 starting so thats 160 billion there but you said a year and a half so then that would come out to 240. And you'll have to room those guards which will be more money and then house the illegals because its going to take more than 1 day drive in most places. Gas: the vans get about 25 mpg average with 26 gallon fuel tank. Lets take some of the big cities from NYC to the border its about 1700 miles its going to take about 2.6 fuel tanks thats about using a very conservative price of 2.65 a gallon that's $179 each van. In 2007 there were about 400,000 illegal immigrants in NYC so that would come out to about 7.16 million just for NYC in gas. You're also going to have to hire people to search for all these illegal aliens which will take quite some time. Now after transportation is complete I'm assuming you're going to want to keep them out so what do we do? Build a border wall? How much money do you think that'll cost? Plus maintenance, etc, guards. So then we'll be close to 500 billion plus before the job is done. But you're okay with the higher taxes for something that doesn't personall affect you

You were challenged to provide evidence for yet another of your unsubstantiated claims, and again you could not.

Again if you're forgotten something its hard for me to pull something out of thin air if you've forgotten it. Again no railing against Reagan's amnesty of Illegal Immigrants. Searched quite a few of your posts no mention of it

This website didn't exist in the 80's. What railing are you trying to find? Should Reagan have given amnesty to the illegals then? No it was a mistake. I think he was dupe like many by the argument for it. Was that the first time amnesty was given? Well I don't know, but it is probably the first that matters since Kennedy pushed through the immigration bill back in the mid-60's in an attempt to expand immigration away from quotas.

"Fly-over" country voted, and The Donald is now POTUS.
